We arrived and expected 2 rooms but only 1 with a single king size was available. Then had to add 2 roll away beds for 4 adults and there was simply not enough room. The room smelled of smoke and then the next day we got another room added but still did not have 2 beds in each room.

The room and all the accommodations were excellent. The Graduate is a very unique hotel that gives guests an eclectic look at U of Iowa sports history blended with an all Iowa perspective throughout the hotel. The location is super for access to downtown Iowa City and the room rates were very affordable.
